changin on the new year...really?

it's already starting...the countdown to the new year!

it's just a few minutes passed since it's the 31st-the last day of the year. but there are still some people awake outside. most of them are singing joyful songs, cheering, and even gearing up themselves with firecrackers. most of them are happy that the year is ending. they all want to forget the bad things that occurred this year behind. but really...what do they want to leave?

they want to have a new year-a new life. to leave their bad pasts behind and start all over again. people write their 'new year's resolution' to feel good or just to have a goal in their lives this year. but what for? by the end of this month, no, maybe just two to three weeks or even days after the year starts, they would've forgotten about what they wrote on the list. they'll find it on the floor and think that it's just a piece of scratch paper and throw it away.

people sure are happy about this holiday. they see it as a doorway to a new beginning. but really-do they have to wait for a new year just to have a new life? if they could not change in an ordinary day in any month of the year, then what good is it to wait for the new year? if they really want change, it will happen anytime, anywhere.

we can change, if we want to that is. let's start anew today, the new year, or maybe on just a normal day of the week. there's no schedule for it. it could happen in a blink of an eye...just make sure you'll catch it or you'll definitely spoil yourself. hehe!
